Sophie is a young, beautiful, and kind-hearted woman whose life was forever changed by a senseless act of violence. While attending a memorial service for a peer who had been tragically killed in a car accident, Sophie was shot twice in the back. One bullet remains lodged in her spine, severing her spinal cord and leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.
In the years since the shooting, Sophie has faced challenges that extend far beyond her physical injuries. She continues to navigate ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, and the lasting effects of trauma. The emotional toll has been compounded by the immense stress of legal proceedings, including having to go to court and testify against the individuals responsible for the shooting.
These past since the shooting have brought not only medical and emotional hardships, but significant financial strain as well. The costs associated with long-term medical treatment, accessibility needs, therapy, and daily living expenses continue to add up.
Despite everything she has endured, Sophie continues to show incredible strength and resilience. She and her family are deeply grateful for any support you are able to give as she continues this long and difficult journey. Every donation, prayer, and act of kindness helps lighten the burden and reminds Sophie that she is not alone. Thank you for standing with her.
